The SMC2585W-G can automatically assign IP addresses to client computers by DHCP. In

this section of the management page, you can specify the Default gateway, Subnet mask,

Primary DNS server, and Secondary DNS server settings that will be sent to a client at its

and the number of allocateable IP addresses.
